Triple bandpass filter stereo?

Triple bandpass filter stereo?

1999-03-11 by Dave Bradley

Paul,

Can you tell us if the output of the triple bandpass filter being designed
is stereo, and if the LFOs can pan across the stereo field as on the MAM?

It's a mono filter, sort of like 1/2 a MAM filter. but it's 1/4th the price,
too!

You'll have to buy 2 for stereo! <grin>

Can we get separate output jacks for each filter so that we can pan them
externally?

Cool! Are you going for 2U or 3U on this design?

Sure, if I can fit it all in there.

On another similar note: if you have such a request, just us MS Paint or
something to atrtach a sketch
on a proposed panel layout.

If it fits, it will show up.

I prefer 2U because 10U wide go across the 19" rack (5 modules, no gaps).

3U also adds $20 to the final kit cost.

Re: Triple bandpass filter stereo?

1999-03-12 by Dave Bradley

OK, instead of writing a white paper this afternoon like I should have, I
twiddled pixels instead. Attached is a faux triple resonant filter pic in
Windows bitmap format. Sorry I didn't have the capability of saving it as a
jpeg for non-Windoze users out there. Ignore the fact that the module still
says "Ultra VCO" at the bottom!

It works basically like the MAM, without the envelope follower or built in
panning. Each filter has its own output however, for your external panning
pleasure. Contains 2 LFOs, LFO2 being fixed at a somewhat faster frequency
than LFO1 like the MAM. The Manual/CV pot tunes all filters simultaneously,
unless an external input is plugged into the CV input, then the pot acts as
a CV attenuator (also ala the MAM). There is an LFO freq CV jack not present
on the MAM design. The LFO mode switch also works like the MAM: Single
applies LFO1 to all filters with positive polarity; Dual applies LFO1 to
filters 1 and 3 with positive polarity, and LFO2 to filter 2; Dual Reverse
applies LFO1 to filter 1 with positive polarity, LFO1 to filter 3 with
negative polarity, and LFO2 to filter 2.

Possible enhancements:

Add a jack for LFO amount CV, whereupon the LFO amount pot becomes, you
guessed it, an attenuator for the external amount CV.

OR, add a jack for LFO1 output, so that you could use it to synchronize
panning to the filter frequency modulation (my preference).

Re: Triple bandpass filter stereo?

Thanks to Dave for a pixel-pushing extravaganza!

Comments are as follows:

In the real unit, the pots need to ne mirror'ed. In other words, the panel
pot layout will be:

RATE RES
DEPTH BP1
MODE SW BP2
CV MOD BP3


The reason is as follows:

when you look at the panel from the front, the right-most
column are the components on the pcb. The Q and cutoff pots
*must* be on the pcb for stability (very short traces over a ground plane)

Also: it seperates "LFO STUFF" from "FILTER STUFF".

OTHER than that quibble, I think Dave has a winner.

COMMENTS??!?

Yes, thanks Dave.

OK, another filter. Paul, Dave, others... tell me why I want this and why
it is different / better / whatever compared to other filters Paul is
planning. Be gentle. Remember, this is my first time.

Attached is the revised triple bp image with Paul's changes. I added a LFO
output jack so that external panning could be synchronized to the filter
sweeps.

I've been thinking of creating an image of a giant MOTM modular in a Moog 55
style cabinet by cutting and pasting a bunch of module images, and faking up
some modules that haven't been created yet. I'm one sick puppy.

Hi Dave, MOTM,

The filter looks GREAT (excellent job). While you're doing your MOTM 55, maybe
you can do a mock up of the mixer; almost the same layout as your filter.

I think I'll quit while I'm ahead, and actually BUILD the MOTM 55 instead of
faking it.
